During this lesson we where able to explore the software that was to be used in order to create a professional looking thriller opening. The software called 'Final Cut Pro' was explored and we were given some in edited simple clips which hadn't been cut together therefore giving a=us the task to join the clips, giving them a smooth flow in between cuts where the camera angle would change.
The timeline on final cut pro was easy to use, simply drag the clip that you want in your piece of work onto the timeline where you can quickly cut it shorten it and all sorts. once i grabbed the clip of my desire and placed it on the time line, we were told to click 'i' to place a marker on the timeline which would signal when the clip would begin, then simply by pressing 'o' it would place another marker where the clip would end, once selecting the wanted areas of the clip all of the extra bits of the clip outside the marker zone would be cropped off. We also saw the razor blade function which would cut cuts down. Seeing as editing is very important with effects also we explored different types of effects that could be added to a clip this included fades or blackout pauses in-between clips which could help add suspense.
Finally we took a look at how we could add sound over the clip, we were informed that using an mp3 file for the sound would decrease the quality of sound therefore must be converted into another format more compatible with the software. Then to finish we where given a hard drive where we would save our work, connecting and ejecting this hard drive where taken into account.
